Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

I hate our song. Do I tell her?

My girlfriend is very hopeless romantic, that she even picked out a song for us. She chose a foreign song that she really liked on Spotify and claimed it to be “our song.” If I’m not mistaken it was La Vie En Rose or something like that. French lyrics and all. I admit the acoustic sounds nice. The strumming of the guitar, the voice of the singer, it sounds good. But it’s just too slow for me. Kind of too cheesy for my liking. Do I tell her that I don’t like “our song?” How do I even break it to her without hurting her feelings?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

LMAO This is a first world problem. Use it to your advantage. When she’s being weird just play the song for her.

Give her a better suggestion. Tell her, "Well, I always thought of this as our song" and play her some fvcking Ministry or something. But if she likes French music, this one might be a good suggestion :D

Is this a serious question? Does she make you listen to it every time yall are together? You can't just roll your eyes and move on? Is it really that big of a deal for you?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
